A Judicial Fastball: The Supremes Hit a Long Pause on the Missouri v. Biden First Amendment Preliminary Injunction

A Judicial Fastball: The Supremes Hit a Long Pause on the Missouri v. Biden First Amendment Preliminary Injunction

Comments 0 Comment

No surprise here: The Supremes Stay Enforcement of the Biden v Missouri First Amendment Preliminary Injunction and take the case. In an unsigned order delivered yesterday, the Supreme Court placed a hold on the enforcement of the preliminary injunction—a decree dispatched by the Western District of Louisiana and later upheld, albeit with restrictions, by the Fifth Circuit in Missouri v. Biden. As you might recollect, this injunction threw a monkey wrench into the federal machinery, preventing various executive branch agencies…

As all Cali. First Amendment lovers know, on Saturday, September 30th, Governor Newsom signed SB 815 which repealed the physician covid misinformation law, AB 2098, enacted as Section 2270 of the Business and Professions Code. On Monday morning, October 2nd, we asked our judge in Bonta v. Hoang (one of two related cases in which Judge William B. Schubb granted a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of AB2098) to change course and stop the medical boards from trying to censor physicians…

Very good news for all who believe that doctors should be able to publicly criticize the increasingly desperate propaganda put-out by the Covid mafia. Today, Washington state Appellate Court Commissioner Hailey L. Landrus granted Dr. Eggleston’s motion for discretionary review, meaning we get to appeal the superior court’s denial of our preliminary injunction motion. And here is the best part: the stay of the Medical Commission’s disciplinary case which she issued back in may, 15 hours before opening arguments will…

Folks, I will keep this pretty simple and straight: Biden v. Missouri As most of you probably know, Justice Alito stayed the 5th Circuit’s decision affirming a part of the lower court’s preliminary injunction against Biden Administration officals prohibiting them from attempting to force social media companies to censor public health information the government disagrees with and thinks is dangerous. For the reasons I set out in a recent post, https://wp.me/p7pwQD-1xW I am here to tell you that the 5th…

It was reported on Monday by the Los Angeles Times that legislators discretely incorporated the repeal of AB 2098, (Bus. & Prof. Code 2270), the temporarily enjoined Covid misinformation law, into the comprehensive health care boards bill, SB 815. Given the bias of the story, I won’t provide you the link to it. Instead, I will dive into the source: Here is the full SB 815 Bill Text – SB-815 Healing arts_. It is 28 pages. Like all bills, it…

A Tale of Two Ironies: Bobby Kennedy Jr., Bioterrorism, the Fight for Free Speech and Open Science

Ladies and Gentlemen, gather round, for we have a compelling story to share. It is a tale of irony, misinformation, fear and censorship, starring Bobby Kennedy Jr., a man who has weathered more storms than a seasoned hurricane chaser. Though, he is more often the hurricane wrecking havoc on corporate polluters and other corporate miscreants. Bobby has faced numerous accusations in his time. As a very proud Jew and someone who has interacted often with him professionally over the past…

If you thought the summer heat was intense, wait until you hear about how the 9th Circuit panel grilled the attorneys who argued the case (mostly one side). And hint, I’m a happy guy after hearing the oral argument. So let me share my thoughts on it. As you may recall, this case revolves around the controversial AB 2098, California’s attempt to sanction physicians for providing information and advice to patients that is not consistent with the mainstream covid narrative….

Unless you’re living under a rock, you know that a Louisiana federal judge had issued a preliminary injunction barring many, many federal government officials from asking politely (threatening) social media companies to remove content which the government thinks is dangerous. Here is the judge’s opinion. bideninjunction Some people (myself included) consider this to be more dangerous than the content the government seeks to remove. Something about letting people make their own decisions about truth vs. falsehood which has been kicking…
